Desperation

Tricks, manipulation, and deception, however, is a sign of desperation.

Take Mayor McGinn’s Wikipedia page for instance:

McGinn Wikipedia Page

First, the article starts out with a complete hit paragraph which consists solely of opinion, and follows with a laughably mangled poll interpretation.

The poll referencing McGinn’s performance actually found that 2/3rds of people rated Mike as “fair” or better, whereas only 1/3 rated him as poor. These are hardly damning numbers for a new-ish Mayor. Only 405 people were polled in a city of 600,000.

Yet, the opposite results were reported on the page.

Guys, knock it off. You are going to get to keep your precious automobiles. Only 3% of the Seattle transit budget is going toward bikes, which is reasonable since 2% of Seattleites ride bikes to work. Your roads and your ability to use them aren’t going anywhere.
